It's your time to shine!

Do you have a short story the world needs to hear? Maybe it’s the preface to why you became a writer in the first place. Or, maybe it’s a glimpse into a book you’ve already written but haven’t taken the plunge to publish yet.

The Christian Writers Awards is a writing contest hosted by Xulon Press to acknowledge and inspire writers to take a leap of creative faith and share their story. The contest is open to all genres and no previous writing experience is required – it’s just you and the story you’d like to share!

Contest entrants may enter as many times as they’d like, but entries must be 4,000 characters or less including spaces (approximately 700 to 750 words).

Entrants will also receive exclusive access to a private Facebook group, where you can engage with a community of professional writers, publishing industry insiders, and other contest entrants. We’ll also feature daily content to help spark your creativity and hone your craft, like writing prompts, expert tips from guests, and much more! This group will be open for the duration of the contest, so the sooner you enter, the sooner you’ll get access to exclusive content and networking opportunities.

The first place grand prize winner will be taking home a FREE Xulon Press Elite Publishing Package valued at $8,780! Second and third place grand prize winners will also win a publishing package.
